Kern County Fair

It's fair time again!  It had actually been a few years since we had made it out to the fair, but I was so excited to take Katelyn this year.  We had fun watching her take it all in.  She was a bit overwhelmed when we first got there.  The whole way there we had been talking about what we were going to see at the fair, mostly listing all the animals that would be there.  She started saying HORSIE! and from the moment we got there, that was all she wanted to see.  We really didn't find horses (are they not usually part of the fair?!) but we did see the cows, pigs, goats, bunnies, chickens, and best of all...the petting zoo!

Not too sure about the goats!

This llama was HILARIOUS!  It liked to just come up behind you and stick its head in your face!  I was so surprised that Katelyn wasn't scared of this guy!

After getting our animal fix, we (washed our hands) grabbed a bite to eat.  Fair food...soooo many completely unhealthy, delicious choices!  

Katelyn had some chill cheese fries, I had a pastrami sandwich with sauerkraut (mmmm....amazing!), and Steve had a Rueben sandwich.

  And for dessert, there is no way I'm leaving the fair without FUNNEL CAKE!!

Then we headed over to the games and rides.  I wasn't sure how Kate would like the rides, but she loved them!  She even rode on a few by herself and had so much fun.  She also won a flying helicopter at one of the game booths (well...daddy won it technically!).

And finally home...(grabbed a glow necklace on the way out)...to our sweet little Luke who had no idea any of this was going on!  Next year, buddy!
